Dancer 2 database session storage

soundX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks,

I am trying to get my head around the Dancer 2 framework and I'm having a hard time getting sessions to behave in the way that I want. I’m used to using CGI Session and storing sessions in a database and I’m trying to replicate that with Dancer 2. The Dancer::Session::DBI module looks like it is exactly what I need but it's a Dancer 1 module. The D2 module Dancer2::Session::DBIC seems to be more complicated to set up and requires a database schema, I'm not that familiar with ORM at the moment (I am trying to learn) but I don't want to use OO modelling for my database at the moment. I’m just not quite sure how to get started; do I need to use something like the SessionFactory module? Any help would be much appreciated.

See Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory Any class that consumes this role will be able to store, create, retrieve and destroy session objects. Then see an example of use at https://metacpan.org/source/DAGOLDEN/Dancer2-Session-MongoDB-0.002/lib/Dancer2/Session/MongoDB.pm Copy/paste, substitute anything "Mongo" for something "DBI" and you're done :) Simplest subclass is Dancer2::Session::Simple	[reply]

Thank you. I thought I was on the right track with SessionFactory, the mongo example is a real help.	[reply]
